Round 3 Mugdock Cyclocross

The expected rain held off (almost) all day for an exciting day of racing at Mugdock Country Park. Over 270 riders braved the mud to take part in the 3rd round of The Tri Centre Scottish Cyclocross Series hosted by Glasgow Mountain Bike Club.

Up first was the Under 12, Under 10 & Under 8 race with the course extended from previous years it was a stong test of the riders skill & fitness. The podiums for the U12 race is as follows:

Veteran Male:In the penultimate race of the day, the vet mens race took place on a well churned up course, but this didn't get in the way of some very close racing. Mechanicals and punctures forced a few sprint finishes on foot that would put Ussain Bolt to shame!Here's the Vet Mens podium:

Senior Male:The senior mens race was as action packed as ever. The muddy course had the pit teams working hard with bike swaps almost every lap. The rain couldn't hold off all day and a drookit mens podium is as follows:

1.Dan Whitehead2.Gareth Montgomerie3.Stevie Jackson
